Twitter has just released a new interface on its direct messages feature on the web. The new DM interface lets you “Slide into those DMs without clicking away from your timeline.” For long, heading over to the DM sections meant that your drifted away from the timeline.
The new interface replaces that with a floating window for messages, same as what Facebook and LinkedIn have done with their inbox sections on the web. Its rolling now on web, according to a tweet from the company.
The new feature is plausible as Twitter has been left behind on how it handles DMs compared to its peer, Facebook.
Massive Twitter Hack
The announcement came a few hours before the massive hack that affected major verified accounts on the platform. Several high profile accounts were affected including that of Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos, Microsoft’s co-founder Bill Gates, Tesla’s Elon Musk, and even that of former US President Barrack Obama among others.
